About solutions that do not have a Web application under the WebApps directory when deploying in Eclipse

Test environment:

WINDOWS8 system

Tomcat8.0 Server

Cause: Eclipse configures tomcat the default Web application is in the Wtpwebapps directory that is deployed to the. Metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0 directory.

To modify the method:

Under Eclipse, open the Server View tab and, if you have deployed the project, remove it first, as shown in figure:

After removing, right-click and select clean:

Then right hit open open, enter the configuration page. The options in the red box will not be gray, choose the second option

1. Use workspace metadata (does not modify Tomcat installation);

2. Use Tomcat installation (take control of Tomcat installation);

3. Use Custom location (does not modify Tomcat installation);

However, if the option is still gray, you need to repeat the previous operation before you can modify this configuration;

In addition, there are two parameter input boxes below this option:

1. Server path (that is, tomcat or Eclipse root directory)

2. Deploy path (the root directory of the engineering files, Tomcat generally webapps,workspace under the general Wtpwebapps)

By default deploy path is. metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\

At this point, you can change to Tomcat's Web application directory.
